Pond is currently under construction and will fall somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 of an acre with 6-12' depth.
My dream goal for the pond is for it to raise large BG, Black Crappie, and Yellow Perch... a tall task as I have been researching. I have no problem investing alot of time into the pond as I'm an avid fish lover. On the other side, my wife wants to pond to be nice and clean for swimming as well.
Here's where I'm at
-Find aeration (looking at a bottom diffuser aeration system based on research here)
-Stocking - Any advice here? I know crappie are challenging but I do have a fish farm nearby that swears they have a strain of pellet trained Black Crappie and Yellow Perch. What do you think about this? I was thinking about HSB as the predator fish along side the frying pan at times
-Structure - What do you recommend for these species? I saw some recommendations for pallets.
